404 Media found multiple users of Zello, an app previously used by January 6 insurrectionists, linked to ICE officials. An officer at the scene of an CBP official shooting a U.S. citizen also used the app.
On the Media and MilitiaWatch previously showed how Zello was a recruitment and organizing tool for the far right. They also found Zello’s leadership resisted calls to enforce its own terms of service, including those which prohibit “violent extremist ideologies.” In January 2021, Zello deleted more than 2,000 channels in response to that and further reporting.
Interesting, although the “how they use it” in the title boils down to just “they use it”. So. A little annoying.

“They speak into it” doesn’t really make for a gripping headline, unfortunately…
